FIG. 1 is a simplified block diagram illustrating a memory system 100, in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention.

The memory system 100 may be configured to store data provided from an external device, in response to a write request received from the external device. Furthermore, the memory system 100 may be configured to provide data stored therein to the external device, in response to a read request received from the external device.

The memory system 100 may be configured as one of various types including, for example, a Personal Computer Memory Card International Association (PCMCIA) card, a Compact Flash (CF) card, a smart media card, a memory stick, various multimedia cards (MMC, eMMC, RS-MMC, and MMC-Micro), various secure digital cards (SD, Mini-SD, and Micro-SD), a Universal Flash Storage (UFS), a Solid-state Drive (SSD) and the like.

The memory system 100 may include a controller 110 and a memory device 120.

The controller 110 may control an operation of the memory system 100. The controller 110 may perform an access operation on the memory device 120 for processing a request received from the external device or perform an internal management operation of the memory system 100 regardless of a request received from the external device. An access operation may be at least one of a write operation, read operation and erase operation.

The controller 110 may detect errors which may occur in the communications between the controller 110 and the memory device 120 during an access operation to memory device 120. A serious error may result in providing an erroneous target address TADD to the memory device 120 for accessing a storage location in the memory device 120. In this case, the memory device 120 causes a serious error because the controller 110 accesses a storage location corresponding to the erroneous address, which is different from the intended target address TADD.

In accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, a memory system is provided which can detect such errors and correct them. More specifically, according to an embodiment, the controller 110 transmits the target address TADD to the memory device 120 for performing an access operation, and after the operation is performed, the controller receives from the memory device 120 a reference address RADD at which the access operation was actually performed. Then the controller 110 may selectively re-perform the access operation for the target address TADD based on the received reference address RADD.

Specifically, when the reference address RADD is different from the target address TADD, the controller 110 re-performs the access operation on the target address TADD. That is, when an error occurs during communication between the controller 110 and the memory device 120, the target address TADD may be corrupted into an unintended address and the corrupted address may be transmitted to the memory device 120 as the reference address RADD. In this case, the target address TADD or an intended address would be different from the reference address RADD or the unintended address. Hence, the controller 110 can detect the error by comparing the reference address RADD with the target address TADD, and re-performs the access operation on the target address TADD.

On the other hand, when the reference address RADD is equal to the target address TADD, the controller 110 does not re-perform the access operation on the target address TADD. That is, when the controller 110 determines that the access operation for the target address TADD was performed normally without an error during communication between the controller 110 and the memory device 120, then the controller does not re-perform the access operation.

The controller 110 may control the memory device 120 through various methods such that the memory device 120 transmits the reference address RADD to the controller 110. For example, the controller 110 may transmit a predetermined reference address transmission command to the memory device 120, for directing the memory device 120 to transmit the reference address RADD to the controller 110. For another example, the controller 110 may command the memory device 120 to transmit the reference address RADD to the controller 110, using existing commands used for controlling the memory device 120, for example, a command for acquiring a parameter stored in the memory device 120 and a command for checking the state of the memory device 120.

The controller 110 may include a comparison unit 115 for determining whether the reference address RAD is equal to or different from the target address TADD. The comparison unit 115 stores the target address TADD for comparing the target address TADD to the reference address RADD which is received from the memory device 120 after the access operation is performed in the memory device 120 in response to an access command and the corresponding target address TADD are transmitted to the memory device 120.

The controller 110 may transmit an access command corresponding to the access operation to the memory device 120. When a wrong access command is transmitted to the memory device 120 due to an error during the communication between the controller 110 and the memory device 120, the memory device 120 performs a different access operation from the intended access operation.

According to an embodiment, the controller 110 may receive type information TYPE of the access operation (access type information) from the memory device 120. The access type information TYPE may indicate whether the access operation performed by the memory device 120 is a read operation, write operation or erase operation.

The controller 110 may selectively re-perform the access operation based on the access type information TYPE transmitted from the memory device 120. Specifically, the controller 110 re-performs the access operation when the access type indicated by the access type information TYPE does not correspond to the corresponding access command transmitted to the memory device 120. However, the controller 110 does not re-perform the access operation when the access type indicated by the access type information TYPE corresponds to the access command transmitted to the memory device 120.

In another embodiment, the memory device 120 may transmit the reference address RADD and access type information TYPE at the same time according to control of the controller 110.

The memory device 120 may receive the target address TADD transmitted from the controller 110 as the reference address RADD, and access a storage location specified by the reference address RADD in the memory region 122. The memory device 120 may transmit to the controller 110 the reference address RADD at which the access operation was actually performed, according to control of the controller 110.

Furthermore, the memory device 120 may receive the access command transmitted from the controller 110, decide an access type according to the received access command, and perform an access operation. The memory device 120 may transmit access type information TYPE of the performed access operation to the controller 110, according to control of the controller 110.

The memory device 120 may include a register 121 and a memory region 122.

The register 121 may store the reference address RADD. The reference address RADD may be stored in the register 121 until the reference address RADD is transmitted to the controller 110, according to control of the controller 110.

The memory region 122 may include a plurality of memory cells for storing data. The memory region 122 may be accessed based on the reference address.

The memory device 120 may be any suitable memory device including, for example, a nonvolatile memory device 120 or volatile memory device 120. The nonvolatile memory device 120 may include a flash memory, such as a NAND flash or a NOR flash, a Ferroelectrics Random-access Memory (FeRAM), a Phase-Change Random-access Memory (PCRAM), a Magnetoresistive Random-access Memory (MRAM), a Resistive Random-Access Memory (ReRAM), and the like. The volatile memory device 120 may include a Dynamic Random-Access Memory (DRAM), a Synchronous Dynamic Random-Access Memory (SDRAM), a Static Random-Access Memory (SRAM), and the like.

FIG. 1 illustrates that the memory system 100 includes one memory device 120, but the number of memory devices included in the memory system 100 is not limited thereto.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart of an operating method of the memory system 100 of FIG. 1, in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 2, the operating method may start with step S110 in which the controller 110 transmits a target address TADD to the memory device 120 for performing an access operation on the target address TADD of the memory region 122. The controller 110 may transmit the target address TADD together with an access command to the memory device 120. The target address TADD may indicate a specific storage location in the memory region 122.

At step S120, the memory device 120 may receive the target address TADD as the reference address RADD. When an error occurs during the communication between the controller 110 and the memory device 120, the reference address RADD is different from the target address TADD due to a corruption of the target address TADD during the transmission of the target address TADD to the memory device 120.

At step S130, the memory device 120 may perform an access operation to the storage location of the reference address RADD in the memory region 122 in response to the provided access command.

At step S140, the controller 110 commands the memory device 120 to transmit the reference address RADD.

At step S150, the controller 110 receives the reference address RADD from the memory device 120.

At step S160, the controller 110 may selectively re-perform the access operation on the target address TADD based on the reference address RADD. When it is determined that an error occurred during communication between the controller 110 and the memory device 120, based on the reference address RADD, the controller 110 re-performs the access operation on the target address TADD.

FIG. 3 is a flowchart of an operating method of the memory system 100 of FIG. 1, in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. The procedure of FIG. 3 may correspond to a specific embodiment of a step of FIG. 2.

At step S161, the controller 110 may determine whether the reference address RADD transmitted from the memory device 120 is equal to the target address TADD. When the reference address RADD is equal to the target address TADD, this means that an error did not occur during the communication between the controller 110 and the memory device 120, hence, the procedure proceeds to step S162. When the reference address RADD is not equal to the target address TADD means that an error occurred during the communication between the controller 110 and the memory device 120, hence, the procedure proceeds to step S163.

At step S162, the controller 110 skips re-performing the access operation on the target address TADD.

At step S163, the controller 110 re-performs the access operation on the target address TADD.
